WorldFormer Ukrainian officer goes on trial in Germany over Nord Stream blasts

A former Ukrainian army officer is on trial in Germany, accused of coordinating the 2022 explosions that damaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea. Prosecutors allege Serhii K. led a six-person team that sailed on a rented yacht to waters near Denmark’s Bornholm island, where divers planted explosives on or near the pipelines. They say the attack on civilian infrastructure supplying Russian gas to Western Europe amounts to a war crime.
